  • Suggestions for Improving Pace of Play
    SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY 1 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY ON THE TEE Be early for your tee time. Proper pace of play begins with teeing off at the appointed time. Allow time for unloading your equipment, putting on your golf shoes, any desired practice or warm-up, purchasing any refreshments and driving your cart to the first tee. Play the right course for your ability level: Choose a set of tees with a rating of your handicap index. Or just tee it forward (Apply Legends Rule.) Establish a position on the course. If your round begins on a par 4, wait until the group ahead of you has gotten to the green before teeing off. If your round begins on a par 5, wait until the group ahead of you has hit their second shot and moved toward the green. On subsequent holes when waiting on the tee for the group in front to clear the fairway, don't be so strict about order of play. Let the short hitter - who can't reach the group ahead anyway - go ahead and hit. PLAY READY GOLF— Pick your line of play once and trust yourself. Hit when ready and safe regardless of who has the honors. Try to take no more than one practice swing, then set up to the ball and play your shot. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Take 30 seconds, maximum, to hit your shot. Pay attention to your partners' drives. If they lose sight of the ball, you can help direct them to it and avoid any searching.

  • Report of the Ncaa Baseball Rules Committee July 17-19, 2019 Annual Meeting
    REPORT OF THE NCAA BASEBALL RULES COMMITTEE JULY 17-19, 2019 ANNUAL MEETING ACTION ITEMS. 1. Legislative items. • None. 2. Nonlegislative items. The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee approved the following rules change proposals for the 2020 season. Although it is a non-rules change year, the committee requests approval from the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) for the following items since one is health and safety related and the other is regarding a proposed rule change from 2018-19 to improve the overall image of the game: a. Protective equipment (Rule 1.15.d). (1) Recommendation. To require that all catcher’s chest protectors must bear the manufacturer’s certification indicating satisfaction of NOCSAE and SEI testing standards to protect against commotio cordis. (2) Effective date. Immediately. (3) Rationale. Commotio cordis though rare, is a typically fatal condition caused by the impact of a high velocity object (e.g. thrown or hit baseball) to the anterior chest causing cardiac arrest and death. Newly developed performance standards for the NOCSAE and SEI certification testing standards for baseball chest protectors can mitigate or eliminate the risk of this preventable condition. (4) Estimated budget impact. $65-100. (5) Student-athlete impact. None. b. Twenty-second action rule (Appendix F). (1) Recommendation. To require, a 20-second action rule be administered when runners are on base. The time limit would be kept on the field base a base umpire in the same manner the current 20-second pitch clock is administers with no runners on base. (2) Effective date. Immediately. (3) Rationale. Consistent with other sports (e.g., football and basketball), baseball benefits from having action rules to speed up pace of the game.

A number of issues are compounding the problem, such as technological advancements, length of golf courses, players’ individual needs, and contemporary changes in the value placed on leisure time. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the topic in Upstate New York. Surveys were sent to 167 golf course PGA professionals, asking about pace of play at their courses. The survey collected basic information about the professionals’ courses and moved to items regarding what the courses are doing and not doing concerning pace of play. Results suggest pace of play is a problem many courses have yet to address but beyond a pace of play policy, other factors can be effective.

  • THE IMPACT of a SIGNIFICANT COLLEGE BASEBALL STADIUM PROJECT on ATTENDANCE, RECRUITING, and ON-FIELD SUCCESS James P. Richards I
    THE IMPACT OF A SIGNIFICANT COLLEGE BASEBALL STADIUM PROJECT ON ATTENDANCE, RECRUITING, AND ON-FIELD SUCCESS James P. Richards III A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science (Sport Administration). Chapel Hill 2016 Approved By: Nels Popp Erianne Weight John Brunner © 2016 James P. Richards III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT James P. Richards III; The Impact of a Significant College Baseball Stadium Project on Attendance, Recruiting and On-Field Success (Under the direction of Nels Popp) The purpose of the study was to determine how building a new college baseball stadium or conducting a significant renovation effects on-field success, recruiting and attendance when comparing the three years before and after the stadium project. Recruiting data was obtained from Perfect Game, while attendance and winning percentage data was obtained from information released by the NCAA and on athletic department websites to determine if the millions of dollars athletic departments are spending on facility upgrades lead to improvements in these areas. The study focused on the top-11 NCAA Division I baseball conferences and was narrowed to a sample of 41 baseball programs that conducted a significant stadium project between 2007 and 2013. There were no findings showing a significant relationship between a stadium project and winning games. However, new stadiums led to a significant increase in commitments from top-500 recruits and extensive stadium projects led to an average of an additional 493 fans per game in the three years following the venue opening.

  • Pace of Play Policy
    Optimist Junior Golf Program PACE OF PLAY POLICY Definition of “Out of Position” The first group to start will be considered out of position if, at any time during the round, the group is behind their allotted time. Any following group will be considered out of position if it (a) is taking more than the allotted time to play and (b) reaches the tee of a par 3 hole and the hole is clear, fails to clear the tee of a par 4 hole before the preceding group clears the putting green or arrives at the teeing ground of a par 5 hole when the preceding group is on the putting green. Both (a) and (b) must apply for a group to be out of position. Group Notification Groups WILL BE NOTIFIED when they are out of position and given an opportunity to regain their position. If a ruling or some other legitimate delay occurs which causes a group in question to lose its position, that group is expected to regain its position in a reasonable time [within two holes]. If a group fails to regain their position, they will be notified and subject to being timed. Timing A group may be monitored or timed for compliance with this pace of play guideline if it is “out of position.” When a group is “out of position” a player in the group is expected to play any stroke within 40 seconds. Other than on the putting green, the timing of a player’s stroke will begin when he has had a reasonable opportunity to reach his ball, it is his turn to play and he can play without interference or distraction.

  • Time Between Pitches: Cause of Long Games? by David W
    Time Between Pitches: Cause of Long Games? By David W. Smith Presented June 29, 2019 SABR49, San Diego, California The length of the average game continues to be a major topic for MLB and the baseball press as it has been above three hours for several years. Many factors have been suggested to account for the longer games and I addressed several of these last year by looking at patterns over the past 110 seasons (https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/SmithD/WhyDoGamesTakeSoLong.pdf). The two strongest connections I found were increases in the number of strikeouts and the overall number of pitches. One possibility that has received a great deal of attention is the time between pitches and in fact MLB has considered instituting a 20-second clock with the bases empty although that has not been implemented. At last year’s SABR convention, Eliza Richardson Malone presented the results of her study of 31 starting pitchers in 2017. Although her data set was limited, her conclusion was clear, namely that she found very few pitch intervals exceeding 20 seconds. Therefore the proposal to force pitchers to throw within 20 seconds would not have a significant impact on game length. With the help of Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), I have the precise time down to the second that each pitch was thrown in every game in 2018 with the exceptions of the two games played in Puerto Rico and the three in Mexico. Therefore I had 717,410 pitches to study. By the way, that works out to just under 148 pitches per team per game.
